The First Critical Design Review meeting took place today at 3pm.

Attendees
- Charles Yoon
- Herak Sikder
Topics of Discussion
- What do the Design Review committee have ?
- Answer: We have the design, the BioBrick parts used for the design, the mathematical modelling and the basic idea of how the biological thermometer is supposed to work.
- What do we lack ?
- Answer: No experimental data to back up the design and its modelling. Most of the BioBrick parts used in the design are not verified functionally via experiments.
Outcomes of the meeting
- Each member should go through the design thoroughly. They should get familiar with the parts used in the design.
- A second meeting is set up on 13th July, Thursday at 3pm.
Agenda for the 2nd meeting
- Take the whole design apart and analyze it from bottom up starting at the parts level.
- Come up with a strategy to test the existing design. For instance: how to test critical parts of the design individually before integrating them into the overall genetic circuit.
- Come up with a reasonable time line for the testing.
- Think about the kind and range of values we are expecting from the experimental testings.
- Discuss on ways to improve the design or to substitute parts in the design with better working part which have experimental back-ups.
NOTE: All the attendees of the meeting on thursday are encouraged to bring print out of the design of the Cell-See-Us thermometer with them.
